Donald Trump confirms U.S. involved in military strikes on Iran

President Donald Trump has confirmed U.S. involvement in Israeli strikes across Iran, including Tehran on Saturday (28 February), in a “preventative attack”.

In an eight-minute speech the president called it a “major combat operation,” stating Iran could never have a nuclear weapon and adding: "It's been mass terror, and we're not going to take it any longer."
